The race, in words
Kevin Martin finished 297th of 469 men in the Open division at Chicago 2023, in 1:35:02.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:44 quicker than the median and 18th of 469. Paced to finish: the second half went 6:39 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Chicago gave the field time back: about 2:18 faster than the average race this season, by 275 athletes who raced both.
